TRIMMER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Triminator commercial trimmers are designed to trim excess plant material from a variety of herbal material. Other uses
could result in injury to the operator or damage to the trimmer and other property. Injuries and property damage from
trimmers can be prevented by following all instructions in this manual and on the trimmer. The most common hazards
are discussed below, along with the best way to protect yourself and others.

AVOID ROTATING SLOTTED DRUM
The Triminator’s slotted drum can cause serious damage, cuts and even amputate fingers or hands. Keep hands, arms,
and body away from the slotted drum whenever the drum drive motor is running. Keep hair, clothing, and jewelry away
from the drum. If you need to work around the trimmer to clear or clean plant material for any reason, always shut off the
electric motor and disconnect the trimmer’s power cord from the AC outlet. Use a wooden stick to remove any obstruction
or debris. Never put your hand into the slotted drum while the machine is running; serious personal injury could result.
AVOID SHEAR BAND
The Triminator’s shear band can cause serious cuts and even amputate fingers and hands. Keep the diamond plate covers,
red name plate and clear end cap in place at all times while machine is operating. If you need to work around the trimmer
to clear or clean plant material for any reason, always shut off the electric motors and disconnect the trimmer’s power cord
from the AC outlet.
CLEAR OPERATIONS AREA
Before operating the trimmer, carefully inspect the surrounding area and remove all obvious hazards that could cause you
to trip, slip, or fall into the trimmer.
KEEP GUARDS AND SHIELDS IN PLACE
Guards and shields are designed to protect you from touching moving components. For your safety and the safety of
others, keep all shields in place when the trimmer is running.
TURN ELECTRIC MOTOR OFF WHEN NOT OPERATING THE TRIMMER
If you need to leave the trimmer for any reason, always turn the electric motor off.
OPERATE ON FLAT SURFACE
To avoid overturning, only operate the trimmer on flat surfaces. Control the trimmer carefully when transporting it across
uneven ground or slopes. Do not push the trimmer down or across steep slopes: the trimmer could overturn, causing injury
to the operator or bystanders.
OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY
Know how to stop the trimmer quickly in case of emergency. Understand the use of all trimmer controls. Never permit
anyone to operate the trimmer without proper instruction. Do not let children operate the trimmer.
